winter tyre question

[pete]

i have a question re tyres on my brava sx 100

i am abroad at the moment and have to use winter tyres from november onwards. i have a set of winter tyres which are 165 65/13

will they be ok? according to the running guide they should be 185/60 14 or 185 55/15. will i have problems with 165 65/13? if so what?! presumably the only real difference is the width? will that give me less grip in snow etc than i would with summer tyres anyway?!

what do you think

thanks in advance

less width is normally better in snow(they cut through the snow due to less surface contact area)my mate had i little daewoo matiz(the 1 with trolly wheels lol)and he was cruising past abandoned 4x4's when we had the bad snow!

when you say you have tyres, are they mounted on wheels, as presumably you know you cant put 13" tyres on 14 or 15 inch wheels?

If you see a bandwagon, its already too late!
